Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1359094, member: 40"] I think that Marrone only left because he expected that he was going to land the Jets HC gig. So, he exploited a loophole, pocketed $2M on the way out the door, and went off to interview for his hometown team with the expectation that he'd quickly land on his feet in another head coaching job. Only problem is, he didn't get that job. So it was a miscalculation on Marrone's part [if he wanted to transition right to another HC job]. And the longer he swung in the breeze interviewing for other team's vacancies, the more ugly details came out regarding his departure from Buffalo and the more his name got dragged through the mud. I know that Marrone didn't like the situation at Buffalo, but I'm willing to bet that he wouldn't have opted out of his contract if he knew in advance that he wouldn't get that Jets HC gig [or any other HC job].
